Flash Player For iPhone...
Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen confirmed that Adobe will release a beta version of Flash Player 10 for a number of smartphone browsers, including Windows Mobile, Android, Palm WebOS, and Symbian devices.
Guess who isn't on the list?! I'm starting to think that the iPhone is simply never going to get Flash allowed by Apple. I would think that at this point, Apple would be less worried about people developing flash applications since they have over 50,000 native ones already on the phone, but then again, I'm not the one running Apple.
I guess its less of a big deal today then it might be in the future in terms of competition to the native development environment, but right now, its really annoying to miss out on a lot of web sites which won't function properly without that Flash plug in.
I'm guessing that the rumored tablet or any other iPhone OS devlce wont support it either, but it sure does look nice on other devices...

Whats unique about Flash is that you can create a customized player that embeds in a web site and plays the .FLV (and some other formats) on the web site. There are stand along FLV players you can get for your desktop, but most people don't have those installed because FLV isn't the type of video file that gets downloaded to a computer. It's main purpose in life is play through a web browser.

If you can deliver reliable, quality apps (and videos) through a mobile Safari browser via Flash, there will be decidedly less incentive to visit the iTunes store. And why would you? If you can Hulu or Netflix stream right from the browser, forget downloading $1.99 TV shows or $3.99 movies. It's no secret that Apple is simply protecting a revenue stream here. What will be interesting to watch is how the rest of the smartphone community embraces the Flash delivery model. Right now, the one huge lead Apple has over the rest of the market is the App Store. But if by Christmas 25,000 mobile Flash sites spring up, nobody will be talking about how Apple is two years ahead of anymore.
Anyone care to share their thoughts on when Apple finally adopts Flash?
I say, we'll have it on the next iPhone, June 2010.
Unfortunately, i think your right, and there is just no incentive for Apple to do the flash support... so i dont think its ever going to happen.
